CAUTION! Make sure that the drive shaft inside the shaft engages with the cut-out in the cutting head.

Fitting the bar and chain

Unscrew the bar nut and remove the protective cover.

Fit the bar over the bar bolt. Place the bar in its rearmost position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket and in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top side of the bar.

Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing forward on the top edge of the bar.

Fit the cover and locate the chain adjuster pin (A) in the hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit correctly on the drive sprocket (B) and that the chain is in the groove in the bar (C). Tighten the bar nut finger-tight.

Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the bar.

The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the bar, and it can still be turned easily by hand. Tighten the bar nut with the combination spanner while holding up the tip of the bar.

When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain ensures good cutting performance and long life.

Adjusting the harness

You should always use the harness with the machine to give maximum control over the machine and reduce the risk of fatigue in your arms and back.

Put on the harness.

Hook the machine onto the harness support hook.

Adjust the length of the harness so that the support hook is roughly level with your right hip.

Filling with oil

Open the cap on top of the bar head

Fill with Husqvarna saw chain oil.

Refit the cap.

323P4, 325P5 specifications

The Husqvarna 323P4 and 325P5 are innovative, high-performance pole saws designed for both professional and residential users, providing exceptional cutting efficiency and versatility in managing tree branches and high-reaching foliage. These models represent the latest advancements in outdoor power tools, combining robust engines with ergonomic designs for maximum user comfort and performance.

The Husqvarna 323P4 features a 25.4cc, 2-stroke engine, delivering the power and reliability needed for more demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a lightweight design. This pole saw has a reach of up to 12 feet, making it ideal for trimming and pruning high branches without the need for ladders. Equipped with a 10-inch cutting bar, the 323P4 ensures clean and precise cuts, allowing users to tackle branches with ease.

On the other hand, the Husqvarna 325P5 ups the ante with a more powerful 27.6cc engine, offering enhanced cutting performance and efficiency. With a slightly longer reach, this model supports a telescopic pole that can extend up to 15 feet, introducing more flexibility for users needing to access higher heights. Like the 323P4, the 325P5 features a 10-inch cutting bar, ensuring consistent cutting performance on even thicker branches.

Both models are equipped with advanced technologies to enhance user experience. Husqvarna’s X-Torq engine technology reduces harmful emissions and improves fuel efficiency, allowing users to work longer without frequent refueling. Additionally, the automatic oiler ensures continuous lubrication of the cutting bar and chain, reducing friction and extending the life of the tool.

Ergonomics play a crucial role in the design of these pole saws. The lightweight construction, combined with a balanced design, minimizes user fatigue, particularly during extended use. The adjustable telescoping pole enables users to customize the saw's length, ensuring comfort while maintaining control during operation.

Moreover, both models feature a built-in safety switch and a comfortable grip to enhance user safety and comfort. These features ensure greater control while minimizing the risk of accidental starts.

In summary, the Husqvarna 323P4 and 325P5 pole saws exemplify cutting-edge engineering, delivering powerful performance and ease of use to tackle various trimming tasks. With user-friendly features and advanced technologies, these tools are ideal for anyone seeking an efficient and reliable solution for overhead cutting projects.
